3. 2. Sowing the Seeds of Change : Entrepreneurial Practices in a North-South Collaboration on Pemba Island from a Structuration Perspective

   Författare :Alina Husung; Malin Tillmar; Richard Ferguson; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; social entrepreneurship; entrepreneuring; structuration theory; sustainability; Global North-Global South partnership; East Africa; climate change; Business administration; Företagsekonomi;

   Sammanfattning : This dissertation aims to expand our understanding of social entrepreneuring on the micro- and meso-levels in the Global South. The study employs structuration theory by Giddens to explore how social entrepreneurs in a North-South collaboration engage in everyday practices that aim to affect socio-ecological regenerative change.

4. 3. Essays on Trade, Technology and the Organization of Firms

   Författare :Shon Ferguson; Rikard Forslid; Philippe Martin; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; International Trade; Endogenous Technology; Research and Development; Quality Competition; Market Size; Comparative Advantage; Contract Enforcement; Vertical Integration; Economics; Nationalekonomi; Economics; nationalekonomi;

   Sammanfattning : "Endogenous Sunk Costs, Exporting and Heterogeneous Firms" Empirical evidence shows that R&D spending is highly correlated with firm productivity and highly concentrated among large firms. This paper develops a model of quality competition with heterogeneous firms that can explain these patterns. The model makes two new predictions. LÄS MER

5. 4. Folding of the Ribosomal protein S6 : The role of sequence connectivity, overlapping foldons, and parallel pathways

   Författare :Ellinor Haglund; Mikael Oliveberg; Neil Ferguson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein folding; protein stability; two-state folding; S6; chevron plot; transition state; parallell pathways; foldon; two-channel landscape; protein engineering; H D-exchange; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biochemistry; biokemi;

   Sammanfattning : To investigate how protein folding is affected by sequence connectivity five topological variants of the ribosomal protein S6 were constructed through circular permutation.  In these constructs, the chain connectivity (i.e. the order of secondary-structure elements) is changed without changing the native-state topology.

7. 5. The Androgyne and the Phoenix : Marguerite de Navarre and Gaspara Stampa: Gendering Early Modern Debates on Love

   Författare :Johanna Vernqvist; Carin Franzén; Unn Falkeid; Gary Ferguson; Nancy Frelick; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Marguerite de Navarre; Gaspara Stampa; Early modern Literature; Love; Women writers; Neoplatonism; Androgyne; Phoenix; Love; Gender; Dialogues; Margareta av Navarra; Gaspara Stampa; tidigmodern litteratur; kärlek; kvinnliga författarskap; nyplatonism; androgynen; fenix; genus; dialog;

   Sammanfattning : This study explores Marguerite de Navarre’s and Gaspara Stampa’s literary strategies through a close examination of their appropriation of Neoplatonic ideals of love and gender. Against a backdrop of the cultural and literary canon of the sixteenth century, and through a theoretical framework building on Judith Butler and Michel Foucault, it demonstrates how Marguerite de Navarre and Gaspara Stampa destabilize power relations within the discourses of love and gender, thus gendering early modern debates on love.
